The 3 Gorges of Planes d'Hostoles (Molí dels Murris, Can Poeti, Plana)
Les Planes d'Hostoles is known for its gorges, natural pools where you can cool off in summer. Theaccess paths are well maintained and mostly easily accessible. Access is regulated: there is a charge and booking is compulsory (see the Practical Information section).
Cabana Gorges circular loop starting from Pla de Niubo
Here is an alternative route for exploring the Cabana Gorges if the official car park is full (especially in high season). The route climbs up the slope of the Torrent de Gausacs valley before descending into the Torrent de la Cabana valley, leading directly to the highest waterfall of the 7 Gorges of Campdevanol. Much of the outward journey takes place through pleasant, quiet woodland. The return journey allows you to enjoy the other waterfalls in the valley. There are no major difficulties, but some sections are narrow paths. Unlike the return journey, the ascent is barely signposted, but there is little risk of getting lost.
The Gorgs de la Cabana
A spectacular hike in Southern Catalonia, along the Cabana stream, where seven magnificent waterfalls follow one another, forming seven natural pools of crystal-clear water… an irresistible invitation to take a dip.
Paid parking (€10)
Short circular loop at Le Taga
A circular hike in Catalonia with an elevation gain of around 700 metres. The climb is steady from the start at the chapel to the summit of Taga. The distance is short, but the elevation gain and the steep gradient at the start make for a challenging hike. You need to set off very early in the morning between June and September, which allows me to be back by around 1 pm and means I don’t need to take a packed lunch. A small snack at the summit is enough.
Santa Margarida Volcano Loop, Fageda d'en Jordà, Croscat Volcano
Between Olot and Santa Pau, this route takes you to three of the most visited sites in the Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Natural Park: the Santa Margarida volcano, the magnificent Fageda d'en Jorda beech forest, and the Croscat volcano.
